Coffee Plant

With its beautiful, lush foliage and resilient nature, the Coffee plant’s popularity as an indoor houseplant continues to rise to the top. While the growing conditions in your home may not be sufficient to produce fruit, this plant’s large, dark green, glossy leaves with ruffled edges make up for it. Coffee plants have a compact growth habit and produce small, sweetly scented, and star-shaped white flowers when grown in ideal conditions.

Lighting: Bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun will burn the foliage of this plant.

Irrigation: Maintain moderately moist soil. Irrigate when the topsoil is dry to the touch. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot.

Humidity: Coffee plants will adjust to average household humidity but thrive in an environment with higher moisture levels. You can increase humidity by using a mister, pebble tray, or humidifier.

Fertilizer: Once a month during spring and summer using a balanced fertilizer. Follow package recommendations.
